Help for Mohammed and his family in Palestine

Monday June 8, 2026, Voku, Help for Mohammed and his family in Palestine. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

English description below.

Mohammed woont met zijn oom en tante, Ibtisam en Mustafa, ongeveer 15 kilometer ten noordoosten van Jeruzalem op een heuvel. Zij zijn Bedoeïenen, oorspronkelijk uit Hebron, en hebben in hun leven meerdere keren moeten vluchten voor koloniaal geweld. Ik heb hen drie keer ontmoet in Palestina.

Ze worden van verschillende kanten bedreigd. Ze kunnen hun erf nauwelijks verlaten, omdat ze op hun hoede moeten zijn voor kolonisten die hun dieren proberen te stelen of hen fysiek geweld aan willen doen. Aan de voet van hun erf wordt een enorme nieuwe weg gebouwd om nederzettingen met elkaar te verbinden , een weg waar zij zelf geen gebruik van mogen maken.

Daarnaast zijn Mohammeds werkvergunningen ingetrokken. Hij is onlangs opgepakt en enkele dagen vastgezet omdat hij achterloopt met het betalen van rekeningen.

Zo nu en dan zamel ik geld voor hen in, ook omdat zij daar zelf om vragen. En als iemand je om hulp vraagt die overduidelijk in erbarmelijke omstandigheden verkeert, dan vind ik zelf dat ik niet kan weigeren. Daarom haal ik geld op.

Vorige zomer hebben we met een groep vrijwilligers twee keer een Voku georganiseerd: we kookten in de Molli en buurthuis De Bol. Dat was een groot succes, en we hebben toen echt een mooi bedrag voor hen opgehaald.

We hebben veel contact en schrijven elkaar regelmatig. Ik ken hen, zij kennen mij, en ze kennen ook mijn partner, die uit Israël komt. Dit zijn mensen met de beste bedoelingen, met het hart op de juiste plek. Ze hebben het alleen ontzettend slecht getroffen door het geweld en de systematische onderdrukking die hen wordt aangedaan.

Ik probeer €1200 op te halen ,omgerekend ongeveer 4500 shekel. Daarmee kunnen ze hun rekeningen betalen en hopelijk uit een deel van de bureaucratische ellende komen. Misschien brengt dat op dat vlak wat rust. […Lees verder]

Benefit dinners for Le Refuge Solidaire in Briancon. Concert with Kraaklustig

Thursdays May 7 and 21, 2026, Two benefit dinners for Le Refuge Solidaire in Briancon. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Le Refuge Solidaire is a center for people on the move in Briancon, France. They are starting a crowdfunding to fund the refuge’s kitchen, which welcomes exiled people coming over the franco-italian border. Offering a warm welcome in times where fascism is on the rise is extremely important for our communities. Hot meals are an essential part of this and their spring fundraiser’s objective is to raise 20 000euros which should fund the kitchen for 4months and allow to serve around 27 000 meals to exiled people in need.
Let’s help support this great initiative!

On May 7th, Kraaklustig on the stage. Anarcha folky doomband from the Netherlands is back for another set, yeah! https://kraaklustig.bandcamp.com/

SolidarityLine Croatia (SLC) is a distress hotline for people on the move, supporting those within Croatian territory. The aim of SLC is to assist those in physical danger—whether injured, facing health issues, stranded in forests, freezing, or drowning—as well as those at risk of push backs, in need of asylum access, detained or missing.

SLC supports also people and relatives that are looking for they loved ones that are disappeared on the route. In many cases families contact SLC after loosing the contact with their brothers, nephews, relatives that were crossing the border. SLC in doing this collaborates with 4D. 4D is a migrant justice database operating since many years and focused on documenting human losses that occur on the so-called Balkan Route.

Since May 1st 2026 until today, at least 13 people have died in Croatian territory and along the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia. 13 people in 10 days, in different moments and under different circumstances. The money raised with this people’s kitchen will not go to the SLC, but rather to the costs of a funeral or repatriation of a recent victim of the border regime.

From 20:30 until 22:00, concert with:
